SLIDING SUN VISOR

Sliding blinds

Visor rails

The blinds are extended on the sun
visor rails.
Fold the visor downwards, to protect
against dazzle to the face.
If dazzle is coming from the side
windows, detach the visor from its
housing above the centre of the
windscreen and pivot it to the side.

Do not attach or suspend heavy
objects on the slide rail of the sun
blind.

TOLL CARD/CAR PARK
TICKET WINDOWS

Facility for affi xing toll cards and/or

car park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the child moni-
toring mirror.
They are two non-refl ective areas of

the athermic windscreen.

CHILD MONITORING
MIRROR

The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists

of a refl ective layer, which also

blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, etc.).

A child monitoring mirror is installed
above the interior rear view mir-
ror. This allows you to monitor the
vehicle’s rear passengers, or it can
facilitate conversation between the
front and rear passengers without the
need to move the rear view mirror.
It can be folded away to eliminate
dazzle.

Sliding blinds are provided for your
protection against bright sunlight.
They can be adjusted manually.
 Slide the blind on the visor to the

desired position by pushing the
area A .

The visors are fi tted with a locking sys-

tem on their central housing when the
blind is rolled up. To remove the visor
from its central housing or reposition it,
it must be in a vertical position.
